For what it's worth, I just had this error when trying to upgrade to to
the recent Lucid slapd upgrade:

==============================================================
In my case the trigger for this error was the "olcDatabase={1}hdb.ldif~"
file that I had created manually a few months ago as part of my testing
before posting my earlier comments on this bug.
Still, I was able to get the upgrade to complete successfully by
tweaking the postinst script to limit the "grep" calls to files whose
names actually end in ".ldif", and I wonder if there is any reason not
to apply that patch (or something similar) to the package?
